Education and enlightenment is critical, scammers don't get tired if you do. It has been reported as requested but why is the page is still up by this time when many people have reported this? YouTube should channel their energy in appropriate direction and not to be giving strikes for those who are doing genuine job
Maybe Youtube has a lot of queries or topic to attend to. Witnessing growing number of these scams, perhaps those mentioned social sites can undergone a system protocol where they can easily detect those using abusive method on their platform. For example Facebook should automatic banned those IPs used to create account that discovered creating frauds. I know this would be hard to implement but these crimes will continue if those big platforms will not take any action or else they just allowing it cause they are benefiting from it? Purely an assumption but with their names, these activity could be restricted if they really want something to implement to avoid it.

I helped report it, but it doesn't seem to mean anything because they can just buy a YouTube account that has a certain number of subscribers and try to do another scam people again.

They will keep doing this as long as they have willing victims who do not do research and just grab the offers it's easy to detect they have a comments turn off and they are using a bot to get views and likes now if you still for it, it's your fault for not doing research, have reported also.

Thanks for helping. Actually you can help more if you send or post this to scam accusation thread. Lots of people nowadays are focusing on scamming other people and this is why crypto is not safe from these people. Their favorite platform are those famous social sites such as facebook and youtube and used it to create some fraud activity. We cant really stop these guys from doing so especially now that crisis on every part of the world. Authority are being strict but still they are not totally apprehend these people.

Reported. The fact that it looks like youtube didn't even care to prevent this by block them all. I just think this is why ripple sued youtube caused by it doesn't even create a prevention act to make sure the platform will not be used for criminal act.
maybe if there are many who report youtube account there will be an action from youtube to delete the account, so that no one is trapped again with fraud like that, actually fraud like this has been there a long time ago and not just on youtube but on other social media like facebook , Twitter and Telegram

Thanks OP, for bringing this to notice, there are several more scams as that in emails. They send activation link to your emails waiting for you to click straight on it.
Never verify an email you never signed up for.

I have a question, why does youtube allow scammers alot of time on their platform before bringing such accounts down.??

Seen this kind of scams long before. Just curious if it's live for a few years already or not? Grin

Yes it does, apparently there are still people who are foolish enough to sign up for this giveaway and through their money on the line. You can call it lack of using brain since they only think that they are getting some money for free and a good rate so why not try it.

It's not only that people still sign up for fake project giveaways so yeah as long as there are people are trusting these it's gonna continue and run.

This kind of giveaways needs not to be patronized, better to stay out or be sorry if being scammed. Very  important to everyone to have right information to avoid participating and be scammed of hacked from those people who are doing this inside youtube, if possible keep sharing your knowledge especially to those people who don't have any idea who are attracted to participate share and show your concern.

This scam giveaway is live since last year! I don't know but maybe scammers got a good result through this attempt, otherwise why they don't get bored! I feel pity who fall in these scams, everyone should know those days are over when people gave free crypto money. Right now no one giving you free money, you have to earn it. So, Ignore all the offers through some random guy in twitter and telegram or even on Youtube!

You might want to consider placing this in the "Scam Accusations" board.  I would double check that it hasn't already been placed there before you do so.  Sadly there's a lot of different types of scams going on via YouTube.  I reported as well but I have little faith in this big corporate giants doing much about them. I do the same on Instagram all the time.  There are thousands of scam accounts trying to get you to invest in a "profit guarantee" bitcoin forex binary options.  I report them non-stop...nothing ever happens.

I have seen many times before, I am surprised what technology they have that they can imitate the real stars, so they are not just amateurs and I believe that funds they steal are in hundred of thousands of dollars  Cry.
